In other words: photos and models of daring projects — soaring bridges, dramatic LAX terminals — that nearly became realities, but were jettisoned thanks to community intransigence or municipal roadblocks.

To wit: the Causeway, a water-based freeway stretching from Santa Monica to Malibu, which was five years in when it was abandoned by the legislature.

And: Frank Lloyd Wright’s domed and high-spired sports club in the hills of Runyon Canyon.

All in, Never Built will include 30 individual pieces ranging from schematics to animated examples to fully-constructed monorails to an eleven-foot LEGO tower.

The exhibit opens this July and runs until September, and if you help them get to $50,000, they'll be able to add more works.
